Iptables connlimit not work

Post by deemax » 2015/07/06 11:08:22

Hi, All!

I wanted restrict the number of connections used by a single IP address to my server for port 3128 using iptables.
iptables:

Code: Select all

....
-A INPUT -i eno2 -p tcp --syn --sport 1024:65535 --dport 3128 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 20 -j REJECT --reject-with tcp-reset
-A INPUT -i eno2 -p tcp --syn --sport 1024:65535 --dport 3128 -m connlimit --connlimit-above 21 -j LOG --log-prefix "Connlimit exeed detected"
....
Iptables start whith no errors, but server have more than 20 connection per IP.

Code: Select all

netstat -an|grep 'xx.xx.xx.xx:3128'|grep 'ESTABLISHED'|cut -d':' -f2|cut -d' ' -f8|sort|uniq -c|sort -n
...
74 10.154.69.70
74 10.38.77.91
77 10.22.71.131
79 10.3.27.24
88 10.54.47.138
In server messages log i see:

Why first rule is not work, but second is work...?
Is there something wrong with my rules or my interpretation of concurrent connections?

Code: Select all

#iptables -V
iptables v1.4.21
#uname -a
Linux proxy 3.10.0-229.7.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 23 22:06:11 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
